  • Do you hear the gas valve click but never see a flame?
The straightforward case

That is the igniter almost every time. It gets weak before it dies, so it clicks but never gets hot enough to open the valve. I carry them.

Why it happens

Why your gas oven won't light.

The usual culprits, in plain words. I confirm which one it is before quoting anything.
01

Weak glow-bar igniter

The igniter has to glow hot enough to open the gas valve before any flame can catch. As it ages it stays dimmer each time, until it never quite gets there. Most common cause by far, and since it's the one part I always carry, this is usually a same-visit job.
02

Failed safety valve

The valve only opens once the igniter proves it's hot enough to trust. If the valve itself has failed, gas never reaches the burner, and a brand new igniter won't change that.
03

Clogged burner port

Grease and spills work into the small ports along the burner over time, so the flame can't carry across or catch at all. Half the time a good clean is the actual fix, not a part.
04

Bad spark module or wiring

On spark-ignition ranges a failed module or a loose wire gives you the click with no spark behind it. Sounds identical to a dead igniter until it's actually tested.

How much does it cost to fix a gas oven that won't light?

Every visit starts with a flat $89 diagnostic, and that $89 is applied to the repair. Most gas oven igniter repairs start from $345, including parts. You get the exact price before any work begins.

Why does my gas oven click but not light?
The igniter has gone weak. It still draws current, which is the clicking, but it no longer gets hot enough to open the gas valve. Replacing it is a short job.
Is a gas oven that won't light dangerous?
Turn it off and leave it off until it is looked at. Unburnt gas is the reason not to keep trying it. I am licensed in Pennsylvania and gas ovens are normal work for us. If you smell gas at any point, leave it alone and call your gas company or 911.
How much to fix a gas oven that won't light?
A flat $89 diagnostic, credited to the repair when you go ahead, and the exact price before any work starts.
How long does it take?
Usually one visit. The igniter is a part I keep with me.
